What to look for in a supermarkets in Soweto

In Soweto, the Shoprite and Checkers stores in Maponya Mall are most comprehensive for weekly shopping, with pricing calibrated for the working-to-middle-class market. The smaller spaza shops throughout the residential areas handle daily top-up shopping on community-specific stock. For fresh produce, the open-air market traders in the commercial areas offer African vegetables (morogo, amadumbe, sugar beans) and standard produce at prices below supermarket levels.
